No problem. It seems legit. I wonder how long things take to be available to the hobby

Unless I'm mistaken, Mexico doesn't allow export. That, and the fact that these spiders are restricted to a cave system probably means you might never see them in the hobby. That's my guess anyway, but I'm certainly no expert.

I do get excited when I see new giant spider discovered ☺☺

I find it ironic that it would be simplicity itself to take a few and cross back over to the states. Breed them, and voila, you make a small sum, and a newly discovered sp is in the hobby, being bred and sold by people that care for them properly, and care about their continuation as a species. With little loss to the small population that was found. So much good could come from one little indescretion..

I think they would just to save the wild ones from being over collected
